Any way to speed up protein export.

[tkhawaja]

I'm waiting for J&L to have Reef Custodians in stock to get my order shipped but I'm looking for other ways to speed up the protein export. I'm trimming the macro algae and all the hair algae I can get my hands on, on a weekly basis. The protein skimmer is going all the time. The refugium has macro algae growing in it as well with the lights on about 18hrs a day. I've got lots of snails of various kinds munching on the stuff. Even a few corals of unknown types starting to grow. But there is still a lot of protein in the water as the hair algae keeps on coming back. Less every week. . ...

Is there ANY way to speed up the protein export? Or is my water circulation likely not enough to keep it all syspended for assimilation?
